A NEW RAILROAD.
To Be Built From Fargo Straight
to Devils Lake.
Fargo Special to Pioneer Press.

Fargo Special to Pioneer Press.
Some time in the summer a survey
ing party of fifteen or twenty members
was equipped and sent out from this
city under the utmost secrecy. Those in
charge of this party protested not to
know BY. whom they were hired and
where they were to go. They were to
make a camp east of the city and there
receive their instructions. 1t was
found, as the surveying progressed, that
Il line was run from the Northern Pa
cific line near Hawley, Mimi, then to
Caledonia, Dak., Mayville, sherbrooke,
and from the last named place north
west to Devils Lake. Today it devel.
opes that this road is to be constructed
by the Minnesota & Dakota Railway
company, and grading is to be COM
menced this fall. The line mentioned
above is to be completed next season;
also IL from Fargo to S%herbrooke.
The officers say that it is the design of
the company to finish another direct
outlet to Duluth from that country,
and that the company is independent
of any operating in the Northwest. The
stockholders are manly Boston men,
and the capital is $5,5O0,OOO. Offices
have been opened, ard the first of the
week work will commence on the grade
stakes. The right of way men are
already busy. The headquarters of the
road will be in Fargo. The officers are :
Henry Cutler, president; A. o. Sauirer,
secretary; and E. H. Cutler, first vice
president and treasurer. The impress
sion has some way gained ground that
this is really a branch of the Northern
Pacific and under the cover of a separate
company. The Northern Pacific was
endeavoring to retaliate on the Manitoba
by cutting into their territory. In Da-
kota for q hundred miles the road will
run through the Northern Pacific in.

The Reasons are Powerful.

The San Francisco Call thinks there
must be powerful reasons why Dakotans
desire division, and says: at is diff
cult for us at this distance to realize
the cogency of the arguments which
induce Dakotans to insist on the divis.
ion of their territory. They must be
powerful or eve legislatures and six
political conventions Of both parties
would not have concurred in that view.
There must be reasons which outsiders
cannot fathom, or the people of that
territory would not persist in standing
i'll their own light by giving the Demo-
Gratis in congress Ill excuse for post.

Reasons Why the North Should

Reasons Why the North Should
be Separated from the South.
Fred Adams, editor of the Griggs
County Curricr, was a member of the
last legislature and knows whereof he
speaks OH the division question. lie
says:
"The vast and unnecessary ApPRopRI-
ATOMS made by the last legislature in

"The south having the power of num-
bers insist upon appropriations for the
blind, deaf and dumb, insane, criminal,

"Again. it is we'll demonstrated that
the cost Of government of two small
states is far less than of ono great state
made up of districts with diverse and
conflicting interests. Tho expense OF

large states are governed III a whirl'

HARD ON SETTLERS.
But a Bonanza for the Land At
tOrneVs.

pSAAASJo'
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-"The action of
the interior department in the matter
of railroad indemnity lands IS going to
prove the greatest God-send the legal
fraternity have had for many years."
said an official Of that department yes
terday. "The litigation which is sure to
follow the efforts of the general land
Office TO override the acts of congress is
going to make hard work for the courts.
Every instruction regarding indemnity
lands that has come up lately has been
decided by the supreme court and in
such a manner as settles without ques-
ton the rights Of the railroads. The
land bureau by overriding these de.
cisions has forced the roads TO go to
law with every settler who under the
decisions of the department takes up
these lands. With the opinion of the
supreme court before it, no inferior
court can give these settlers any relief
and the department is simply tempting
settlers to risk their time and money
with a prospect Of inevitably loosing all.
The evictions in Iowa that arc so loudly
complained of are simply the result OF
officers with ministerial functions at
tempting to override the decisions Of
the courts and the acts Of congress.
They held out q false hope to these. set
tiers that was never realized. The
Northern Pacific railroad will. in a few
days, find itself in a position where re.
source to the courts against each indi.
vidual settler will be the only thing. By
a forced construction of law the depart
ment has decided that the road has nc
second indemnity belt. This ignores a
supreme court decision and q decision
by Secretary Teller acknowledging the
roads right to lands within q second
belt under the resolution of May 80
1870. This latter opinion reverses
Te|ler's decision in violation of IL we'll
known rule of department ethics and in
the face of a decision by Lamar him
sell, both of which deny. the right o.
officials to overturn the action of his
predecessor. I have not the slightest
doubt but that the road will secure ir
the courts every foot Of land denied
here, and the result can only be ruin tt
men who are encouraged by depart
mental action to settle on these lands.
